Great side that’s festive enough for a holiday, but great for a weeknight dinner too! We love this one and make it a lot…asparagus is one of our favorites.
Preheat oven to 400. Spread out asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and toss with garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes or until done to your taste.
This is a great side dish, and it could be easily scaled if you wanted to make it for a crowd. I use a brown rice mix to give it some variety, and add additional veggies/herbs that are in the fridge. This could also be done with wild rice, though the cooking time would be longer.
A great side for just about anything, but we especially liked it with grilled meats. This went very well with brined pork chops, and I think it would also make an excellent side for lamb as well. It’s also great on its own for lunch.
Easy side dish that goes well with lighter meals like fish or chicken.
Coat a nonstick pan with cooking spray over medium heat. Toss sliced squash with pepper flakes, dill, and salt. Sautee until lightly browned and cooked through.
Great little side dish that goes well with just about anything. I’ve served this with lamb, and also with roasted chicken and pork since the oven is already going and it’s easy to just toss it in. You can use any variety of potatoes, but my favorite is purple – very colorful!
Preheat oven to 400. Arrange green beans and potatoes on a baking sheet, and toss with oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add a pinch of crushed red pepper if desired. Roast at 400 degrees until tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes, tossing once.
Easy, light, fluffy and a little sweet. Great with salads or a summer dinner.
